A well intentioned rant about the current state of Advertising, with particular emphasis on Big Dumb Agencies (BDA's) Because, no matter how bad you think it is, it's actually a great deal worse!
"Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill pail." George Orwell.

The draft/fcb, slow death spiral, splinters under the nails, stab me in the eyes torture continues. But hopefully not for much longer!

With the news yesterday that the
Kmart account at Draft/FCB, Chicago is going into review, this has to be the
final, final nail in the rotting coffin lid of this fucking travesty of an
advertising agency. I know I continue to beat the festering corpse of this seriously
dead horse… But I must stress, I have been in this business longer than most
AdScamers have been on the face of the planet, and over those many, many years,
I have seen small fuck ups, large fuck ups and humungous fuck ups, but I have
never seen anything remotely comparable to the egregious, nay, fucking criminal
way this company has been mismanaged. The shareholders of Interpublic should
have red hot pokers shoved up their arse. The wankers on the board of directors should be
flayed alive, and Michael Roth should be water boarded with Howard’s, Laurence’s
and “Idgy’s” shit for the rest of eternity. I am fucking speechless – Yes, me! – Speechless. Aaaargh!
